From the cookbook Jerusalem, Roasted Butternut Squash with Tahini and Za’atar is a new staple in my kitchen. You may as well go ahead and double — or triple — this recipe because you won’t be able to put your fork down once you dive in.

Look at me! Blogging away! It has been almost four months since I wrote about Nico and his Ragù alla Bolognese. I know you’re just dying to know the details of where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing, who I’ve seen and who’s seen me. But a lady never tells. Zipped lips.

Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp with Piña Colada Dip is a healthy, tropical summer appetizer. Eat four or five of them paired with a side salad for a light meal. Air frying shaves off calories and fat, but you keeps the shrimp brown and crispy. And my version is gluten free.

There is nothing worse in my window unit Chicago apartment than turning on the oven in July. Except, perhaps, turning on the oven in August. The kitchen is the only room in my apartment without an AC unit and many a day you can find me foodblogging away over the oven or stove, droplets of sweat beading on my forehead and pooling right under my eyes. Because you gotta do what you gotta do for the blog, right?

Crispy Baked Orange Tofu is a deliciously sweet and spicy, healthy substitution for your favorite Chinese takeout meal. I don’t even notice the reduction in calories, saturated fat, or sodium and you won’t either!

The Every Kitchen’s Food Stories series continues with fellow dietitian and flexitarian, Katie Pfeffer. Katie’s is a story I think many of us can relate to. She grew up as sous chef in her childhood home, creating meat-based meals with her mother. As she got older, both her palate and her knowledge widened and Katie is now the head chef of her flexitarian home kitchen. If you’re not sure what “flexitarian” means, read her food story to find out!

I received free samples of Breton Crackers mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe for Roasted Cherry, Whipped Goat Cheese, and Thyme Hors d’Oeuvres, I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Breton Crackers and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

I can’t decide if this is an appetizer or a dessert. I also can’t decide which summer party to bring these too. And I super can’t decide whether or not to tell you the truth about how many of them I ate. (Hint: Pretty darn close to all of them.)
